29JMP29 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I am going to use the drop shot a lot more this summer for smallmouth. I have only used roboworms, and I have done pretty well with them, but they tear up after 2 or 3 fish, so I'm wondering, what is everybody's favorite drop shot bait? a lot of the lakes i fish have gobies in them, so i'm thinking that might be a good way to go? give me some ideas thanks Quote
Mr_Scrogg Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Finessr shadz from Zman is good and durable. Jackall crosstail shad is a fave of many too Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted April 25, 2013 Super User Posted April 25, 2013 With my limited Drop Shot experience it's the wacky finesse worm for me so far. Quote
CPBassFishing Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I like the powerteam lures jp hammer shad and finicky tickler. Strike king also has an AWESOME goby bait that I texas rig......absolutely hammers smallmouth in the rivers around here. It would do well on the DS rig. 1 Quote
The Next KVD Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 PowerTeam Lures 5" Finicky Tickler. In the fall I've had some killer days on smallies with a JP HammerShad. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 and get a bottle of Mend-it to fix ur platics. stuff saves me $200 every season. Quote
flippin and pitchin Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 4.5 inch Robo Worm and the FX Sculpin. Quote
mjseverson24 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 best performing dropshot baits for me are the gulp alive leeches. i also like the yamamoto shad worms. Mitch 1 Quote
JDUB Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 6" Roboworm in margarita mutilated nose hooked works best for me here on clearlake Quote
bmlum415 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Believe it or not its the zoom tiny fluke for spotted bass in my local lakes, I've used,the jackall clone fry, crosstail shad and clone gill as well as many high end plastics and nothing produces as well as the zoom tiny fluke for me 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 25, 2013 Super User Posted April 25, 2013 I also like the GYCB shad shape worm, gulp leeches, and zoom tiny fluke, but day in day out, my #1 drop shot bait is a 4-5" straight tail worm. Pick a brand, they all work. Quote
TNBassin' Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 PTL JP Hammershad in spicy goby color. Great drop shot bait. Quote
29JMP29 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 and get a bottle of Mend-it to fix ur platics. stuff saves me $200 every season. everybody says mend it is great, I need to pick up a bottle Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 3" Havoc Sick Fish and Lake Fork Tackle 4" Ring worm! I always have one of these on my drop shot rod. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted April 26, 2013 Super User Posted April 26, 2013 I like 4" and 6" robo worm fats, but the reaction innovations flirt is more durable and also has great action. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 My favorite so far is the Jackall Cross Tail Shad, but they have the same durability issues as your Roboworms. Quote
Silas Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 Believe it or not its the zoom tiny fluke for spotted bass in my local lakes, I've used,the jackall clone fry, crosstail shad and clone gill as well as many high end plastics and nothing produces as well as the zoom tiny fluke for me I used the Zoom Tiny Fluke today and did really well! First time with the Tiny fluke for me. 1 Quote
Snakehead Whisperer Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Gonna be a toss up between the Strike King Dream Shot/Fat Baby Finesse, and Chompers DS Worms. Quote
backcast88 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 4.5" Fat Roboworm in Bold Bluegill. Nose hooked, TX rigged, or wacky it will catch fish in clear water like nothing else. Quote
Super User Teal Posted April 30, 2013 Super User Posted April 30, 2013 Jackall Crosstail shad is my most productive. Close seconds are the robo worm, tiny fluke, and tiny brush hog. Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I also used the 3" Sickfish with good results. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 30, 2013 Global Moderator Posted April 30, 2013 Zman finesse worm, very soft so I get lots of action and buoyant so they stay off the bottom. Even my wife catches fish with these worms on a dropshot. I tell her to cast it out and leave her bail open, count to 30, close the bail and reel in your fish. The Zoom Meathead worm is a close second for me. 1 Quote
